Hello, my name is***** and I shall be assisting you today. I'm reviewing your query & will get back to you shortly. Thank you for your patience.

It is best to find out the underlying cause of itching and then treat that cause for permanent relief and that can be done if you see a Dermatologist and get evaluated.

However, for symptomatic relief, you can use an antihistamine like Cetrizine twice a day and also apply Calamine lotion twice a day (topical application only). This should take care of the itching.
